Just put v-sync on and took a shot, massive drop as you can see.

47.9fps

About the same place as the 2nd shot i posted above, where i was over 60.

I'd bet before next drive I will have another g.card from NVidia.

Main menu with v-sync on.

47.9fps

Main menu with v-sync off.

61.9fps

Good Work, sir.

Its well odd, v-syncs definitely shagged

LoadsaMoney · 28 Feb 2015 at 20:58

Looks like v-sync locks to 60Hz, wether you are running a higher, as just dropped back to 60Hz to test, and i got the same as i did @ 144Hz with v-sync on, 40s/50s, and 47.9fps on the main menu.

I am doing this bit also! I quit, i got bored by that point

LoadsaMoney · 28 Feb 2015 at 21:07

Im gona get stuck into it when i get Resi finished off.

bake73 · 28 Feb 2015 at 22:12

If you turn the nvidia setting off it runs a lot smoother with vsync on.

LoadsaMoney · 28 Feb 2015 at 22:14

Its a good job February was only a rough estimate

maxzuk · 1 Mar 2015 at 00:01

Well like others have finished DL and the side quests found Excalibur found the hidden super mario brothers game all without crossfire support so by my luck should get a driver Monday.

LTMatt tell em to hurry it up or I'm gonna burn your local pub down

To be fair to Matt I think AMD have been drip-feeding him mind-bending drugs

triss · 1 Mar 2015 at 01:10

Sadly as much as any of us would like a definite date, Reps are subject to NDA and only know what they are told. Props to Matt really for doing what is often a thankless job !, Doesnt stop us jesting with him and glad hes a good chap that takes it

would you guys recommend upgrading to the latest beta drivers, or staying on omega?

PS: if it says total memory usage is 9-10gig, does that mean after 8gig its coming from system ram? AC unity shot up to 10gig and then said system out of memory

i know its a crappy optimised game but just wondering

Crossfire reads the memory stacked. The actual reading needs to be halved when running 2 or more GPUs.

3 months since the last driver update?............

Unless the next driver release is an incredible performance boost, or has a nice featureset (a Shadowplay equivalent, for example) I can see even more people jumping ship to NVIDIA.

The last few comments that i have seen from you really looks like you are out of touch, AMD has had the Shadowplay equivalent since June last year.
